This is a rare and authentic Pratt & Whitney J-57 turbojet engine data plate, a direct artifact from the golden age of Cold War aviation. Sourced from a recent trip to Tucson, Arizona—a region steeped in aviation history—this piece was carefully removed from a decommissioned, run-out J-57 engine, the same type used to power the legendary early B-52 Stratofortress bombers.

The data plate measures approximately 1¾” x 2¼” and is constructed from solid, heavy brass. Every character on the plate, including serial numbers, model designations, and technical nomenclature, is crisply stamped into the surface, offering an unmistakable sense of authenticity and industrial craftsmanship. This is not a reproduction—this is a genuine, issued plate that once belonged to an operational J-57 engine.

The J-57 engine was a cornerstone of U.S. jet propulsion in the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to its role in the B-52, it powered such iconic aircraft as the F-100 Super Sabre and the F-8 Crusader—symbols of American air superiority during the early jet era.

Whether displayed in a frame, mounted with photos or memorabilia, or added to a collection of Cold War or aviation relics, this data plate makes a striking and historically rich centerpiece. These original J-57 plates are becoming increasingly scarce, especially with full nomenclature intact. A must-have for aviation enthusiasts, Cold War collectors, or anyone with an appreciation for vintage jet age engineering.All items sold are 100% guaranteed.
